$1.5 M team option. $200 grand buyout.

Maybe we should take up a collection and pay him ourselves. Is there any doubt Nutting would sign off on it?

Eh. He's been good, and fun to watch; but he's the epitome of a rebuilding team signing to flip at the deadline.

The contract should include a weight clause!

I remember when Bill Madlock's contract contained a weight clause. He got more money if under a certain weight. He didn't care and forfeited the extra money.

If a higher weight leads to more HRs, I’m all for a reverse weight clause.
